Description

It is the content strategy problem we would all like to have. How do you create a story about a team that has won the league seven seasons in a row (and an eighth is expected to follow soon)? Johor Darul Ta'zim (or JDT) are a team on a mission. They were re-formed in 2013 with a new nickname, the Southern Tigers, under the guidance of the Crown Prince of Johor. They won their first title a year later and the AFC Cup (the Asian version of the Europa League) 12 months after that. They have gone on to dominate Malaysian football. But their tone on social media has brought them as much attention as their success. Now they are looking to internationalise their brand and grow their partnership portfolio with the likes of Aston Martin and Unicef. Vijhay Vick, the Head of Content, is leading their strategy. In this podcast, he discusses his approach to JDT's unique position.TOPICSThe recent history of JDTHow they have grown on social mediaCapitalising on the huge Indonesian marketBeing brazen about their successWhy they are "the most hated team in Malaysia"What would signing a world-renowned player like Radamel Falcao do for the league and the club?Having a partnership with the likes of Aston Martin The Malaysian League in general - crowds, TV audience, etcThe football audience is very split - some love foreign football, some love Malaysian football.
